Aberdeen proposes alternative slate of directors for U308

06/16/2008

Toronto, Ontario, June 16, 2008: ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL INC. (“Aberdeen” or the “Company”) (TSX: AAB) is a current shareholder of U308 Corp (“U308”) (TSX-V:UWE) holding 2,300,600 common shares, representing approximately 9.98% of the outstanding common shares, of U308. Aberdeen acquired the shares in the market in the fall of 2007 at an average cost of $1.65 per share. Since it’s acquisition of those shares, Aberdeen has seen a significant drop in U308’s share price to its current level, where U308 is trading below its cash value. Aberdeen feels that the Board of Directors of U308 has not maximized shareholder value and as such Aberdeen has decided to propose the election of an alternative slate of directors (the “Alternative Slate”) for the upcoming Annual and Special General Meeting of U308 on June 26, 2008 (the “Meeting”). To that end, Aberdeen expects to file today a dissident’s information circular (the “Aberdeen Circular”) with securities regulatory authorities. A copy of the Aberdeen Circular will be available at Aberdeen’s web site at www.aberdeeninternational.ca and also at www.sedar.com.

Aberdeen intends to propose the following individuals as the Alternative Slate:

Richard Spencer, President of U308 Corp will also be invited to be part of the Alternative Slate of directors. Should Mr. Spencer not wish to stand for election in the Alternative Slate, the remaining five nominees would constitute the Alternative Slate.

Stan Bharti, Executive Chairman of Aberdeen states, “We believe the current Board as presently constituted has not demonstrated an ability to generate value for U308 shareholders. We feel that our proposed slate of directors brings the experience necessary to re-establish market confidence in U308 and grow its share value”. Mr. Bharti further states that “U308 has attractive assets and is relatively well funded and we believe that it should be doing better than it is."

Aberdeen International Inc.

Aberdeen is a publicly traded global investment and merchant banking company focused on small cap companies in the resource sector. Aberdeen seeks to acquire significant equity participation in pre-IPO and/or early stage public resource companies with undeveloped or undervalued high-quality resources. Aberdeen focuses on companies that: (i) are in need of managerial, technical and financial resources to realize their full potential; (ii) are undervalued in foreign capital markets; and (iii) operate in jurisdictions with moderate local political risk. Aberdeen will seek to provide value-added managerial and board advisory services to companies. The Corporation’s intention will be to optimize the return on its investment over an 18 to 24 month investment time frame

Aberdeen enjoys the benefits that arise from engaging Forbes and Manhattan Inc. (F&M), a privately held resource merchant bank led by Stan Bharti. Similar to approximately 20 other publicly traded companies, Aberdeen receives technical, financial and capital markets expertise from F&M. These services allow the respective companies to focus on maximizing results from their projects.

The ability for junior resource companies to tap into the expertise within F&M has proven key to advancing many projects. Both Desert Sun Mining and First Uranium were led by the principals involved in Aberdeen. Desert Sun was acquired by Yamana Gold for $735 million in 2006 and First Uranium completed a successful IPO in 2006 and has a current market capitalization in excess of $800 million. Stan Bharti, George Faught and Doug Bache were founding shareholders of First Uranium Ltd (TSX:FIU) which operates the Buffels Tailings Recovery Project in South Africa.

Public companies that have engaged Stan Bharti and F&M have raised over $1 billion in financing during the past 18 months. F&M has a strong reputation for execution excellence, both technical and financial within the resource capital markets

U308 Corp

U308 has an exciting exploration package in the Roraima Basin in Guyana, which has the potential for unconformity related uranium discoveries consistent with the Athabasca basin in Canada. Junior Uranium stocks, as a group, have experienced falling share prices, but few (if any) to the extent of U308. Aberdeen understands that the current U3O8 treasury includes approximately $18 million, which is equivalent to approximately $0.78 per share in cash. However, as at close of the market on Friday June 13th, the U308 share price was $0.70, which represents an 11% discount to cash.

Aberdeen believes that the U308 share price reflects the dissatisfaction of shareholders with the direction the current board of directors of U308 (the “Board”) is providing to U308. Aberdeen believes that the Alternative Slate has more experience in the resource sector and the uranium sector specifically and a better track record of delivering shareholder value.

The junior uranium sector is ripe for potential consolidation. To date, Aberdeen does not believe that the Board has publicly disclosed any significant effort to mitigate the risk associated with operating only in Guyana that could positively influence share price. A priority of the Alternative Slate would be to consider the potential for acquiring key near term production assets that would provide a better platform for success for U308 in addition to the large scale discovery potential exhibited in Guyana.

Aberdeen met with the Board of U308 in the fall of 2007. At that time Aberdeen advised the Board that Aberdeen held just under 10% of the company and Aberdeen presented its views on U308 to the Board. Aberdeen requested participation on the Board at that time. The Board apparently considered Aberdeen’s position and dismissed its request. Aberdeen has not pursued any further representation on the Board since the meeting in the fall of 2007. Aberdeen met with U308’s CEO Richard Spencer, in February 2008 to get an update on U308`s progress. He was aware Aberdeen had a large position in U308 at that time. In early March 2008, U308 implemented a Shareholder Rights Plan. Despite its significant shareholding and its continuing frustration, Aberdeen has not been contacted by any representative of U3O8 since its February 2008 meeting with Mr. Spencer.
